Greatest RB of All Time?

[tarcone]

Im putting my RB, Ken "DH" Singleton up for this honor.

In only his 5th season, his stats include:

6993 yards
4.77 ypc
66 TDs
49.3% 3rd down conv
15 fumbles

199 catches
1844 yards
14 TDs

Records held:

Single season rushing yards- 2,258
Single season YPC- 5.72
Single season rushing TDs- 21
Single season 100 yard games- 13
Single season yards from scrimmage- 2745

10th all time rushing TDs
Will be top 15 in rushing yards at the end of the season

He is having a dominant career. If he stays healthy for 5 more seasons, he will own every rushing record in the book.

Crespo's 1st 4 seasons produced 7658yds rushing.

I think Crespo was the greatest back in the league, but not the greatest over the course of a career because Beans killed him.

Give DH some time. There have been some great RB's that did great things for a great many years. Crosby, Dixon, Tart, Connell, Timmerman............

He was my 2nd choice

Crespo is the best in my eyes. The edge over DH is that Crespo faced a team hell bent on stopping the run every game. At the current rate there might come a time where longevity forces me to give the nod to Singleton but not today.

While certainly not an offensive monster I do bring up the 16 fumbles in 8+ years and 1,826 attempts for Mr. Harris Mahoney, who until now I didn't realize was so young at only 28 years of age! Recently checking out RBs in another league it seems that 2 fumbles per year for a starter is pretty rare to find. I'd personally take his consistency over any other production if I had the choice. Little trivia that jeff might remember: Harris Mahoney, LT was my intended choice in the 5th round but Harris Mahoney, RB was mod selected instead. Not a bad outcome.

[SteveBsFan]

IMO it's easily Crespo. He had such an insane first 4 years in the league (two seasons with 2k+ yards) that he's still top 8 all time in yards despite 5 post-injury mediocre seasons.

DH is really good, but i'd give him a few years before he can claim best ever.

As far as a reliable, durable and consistent RB, you have Dixon (10 straight 1k+ yard seasons).. hard to beat that too.

[Kobeck]

That Bennett guy from the hated VooDoo was good, very good, over his career. Not saying he would be at the top of the list, but he should be mentioned IMO

to make matters worse, I wanted to draft RB Harris Mahoney!!!! He was next on my list and I was drafting a few positions behind you

ohh, the irony

[VitoStallion]

It's CRESPO easily and ya'll KNOW HOW I LOVED ME SOME Sweeet Tart

[VitoStallion]

Then again Tart has 47 100 yard games, 3400 receiving yards and 1500 in punt return yardage...8)

He was a nice back...sniff, I think I miss him
|:0(

[Matt]

I miss Crespo lots. I wonder what my teams could've done had he been there the past few years.

[tarcone]

Singleton has 66 TDs in 4+ seasons. He is one behind Crespo and only 19 behind the record holder, who did it in 11 seasons.

DH is a TD machine. And this has been done in a passing league.

[Cringer]

If...sorry, IF Singleton is able to last another 5 years at this pace, he may have a chance to break Brian Dixon's career record.

Crespo is the best of all time though.

[SkyDog]

When it comes to *just* running the ball, I'd give the nod to Brian Dixon.

Career all-purpose work? Give me Wesley Connell.

I dunno -- Tart is waaaaaaaaaaaaay closer to legendary than I thought. I think I'd actually take Tart over Connell
